North Korea launched trash balloons into South Korea on October 7, marking the third such incident in three days. Since late May, over 5,000 balloons have been sent across the border. The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff warn citizens not to touch the balloons and are cautious of potential hazards. In response, South Korea has been broadcasting anti-North Korean propaganda but has opted not to shoot down the balloons due to safety concerns.
